It's not working for me on Xubuntu 13.10. sudo apt-get install ia32-libs Package ia32-libs is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source. However the following packages replace it: lib32asound2 lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin /tmp/air.kmEATV/setup: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have searched the internet high and low and your install link is the only one that worked. Note to future visitors: if you're using the AdobeAIRInstaller.bin and getting a Gtk WARNING **: cannot open display: error, try this!

Dug a little deeper than nora and found the answer regarding the "cannot open display" issue. Problem is you can't have the root user connect to the X display in Ubuntu (with default settings), but we need to run our installer as root (fail-design). First install sux (switchuser with X credentials). Allow the root user to connect to X display. Get current display settings. Then use sux to switch to root user. Run installer with display settings. 1. sudo apt-get install sux 2. /usr/bin/xhost + 3. echo $DISPLAY (use this in step 5) 4. sudo sux - 5. DISPLAY=:0.0 ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

Ubuntu 14.04 - 32 and 64 bit - easy .deb install

Because of the way that multiarch works, you can can now simply install the i386 .deb file on newer 64bit Ubuntu and it will automatically install the right dependencies. (Also the 64 bit .deb is just the 32bit repackaged with a dependency on ia32-libs)

...finally after some trouble and after many searches on this forum, google and others pages have managed to do it.
First I want to thank the community that gave me more ambition to do it, than make me quit to install AdobeAir.

Whole problem was the package ia32-libs(The ia32-libs package was a hack to get 32-bit packages installed on a 64-bit installation. Since Ubuntu version 11.10 (Oneiric), Multi Arch has been added. One of the objectives for it is removing the ia32-libs package)... package that Canonical has decided to end support for it.

A brief summary of those instructions:
- Download this Adobe Air installer
- Installing the 32-bit libgtk package (but I skipped this step; it didn't work for me, and didn't seem necessary)
- Making symbolic links to two libgnome-keyring files
- Making the Adobe Air installer executable and running it with sudo
